As a kid, I was a pretty good little sprinter.
From Mary Lou Retton
As simple as it sounds, we all must try to be the best person we can: by making the best choices, by making the most of the talents we've been given.
You give up your childhood. You miss proms and games and high-school events, and people say it's awful... I say it was a good trade. You miss something but I think I gained more than I lost.
Be cocky. Walk into the Georgia Dome like you own it.
I usually don't mind giving autographs, but when hundreds of folks with paper and pen start coming at you, it's time to seek shelter.
That's because the International Olympic Committee has a policy of never replacing medals.
For six years, I kept my five Olympic medals wrapped in a plastic bread bag beneath my bed.
Many athletes competing in Atlanta wouldn't be here if it weren't for corporate support.
Former Olympians also get paid to make appearances. Many of them won their medals in an era when Olympic success didn't go hand-in-hand with financial success.
Pay-per-view would deprive many kids of the delight of seeing the Olympics.
